16. Stop Button – This button causes the torch to halt its movement at any point and the cut is reset.
Once this button is pressed, any cut progress is ignored and the next press of the play button will
cause the machine to go back to the original cut start point.
17. Forward Cut Button – When a cut is paused this button will cause the torch to go forward on its cut
path a distance of ½” (13 mm). The torch will travel to this next point and wait for the next
instruction. If the play button is pressed from this state the cut will resume from this point.
18. Go Home Button – This will send the torch back to the home position (0 degrees and .100 Inches).
This position is determined by the calibration procedure.
19. Speed Up Button – Clicking this button will cause the selected cut speed to increase by 1 inch per
minute. If the cut is currently running the speed at which the torch is moving will also increase by 1
inch per minute. This speed is limited by the size of the pipe (See Table 3) and minimum speed set
(See 6.3.4 #2).
20. Jog Carriage Forward Button – This will cause the torch carriage to move forward or away from the
ring gear until the button is depressed. There is a ¼ second deceleration associated with this jog
button.
21. Jog Rotate Counter Clockwise – This will cause the ring gear to rotate counter clockwise from the
perspective of facing the leadscrew assembly. There is a ¼ second deceleration associated with this
jog button.
22. Jog Carriage Clockwise This will cause the ring gear to rotate clockwise from the perspective of
facing the leadscrew assembly. There is a ¼ second deceleration associated with this jog button.
23. Jog Carriage Reverse Button – This will cause the torch carriage to move backward or towards the
ring gear until the button is released. There is a ¼ second deceleration associated with this jog
button.
24. Connection and Status Bar – Displays machine connection status to the laptop computer and
current state of the CNC Saddle Machine - (Ready, Paused, Cutting, or Stopped)
25. Connection and Status Bar – Displays machine information (Figure 6-19)
Figure 6-19 Machine Information
1. Ring Gear Angle – The current position of the ring gear (in degrees) from the home position
set during calibration. Positive values are clockwise from the home position and negative
values are counterclockwise from the home position.
2. Carriage Position – The current position of the torch carriage (in inches) on the Z-axis (axially
on the pipe) from the home position. Home position is the point closest to the ring gear and is
set during calibration. The normal home position is 0.10 inches.
3. Torch Speed – The current surface speed (inches per minute) of the torch in relation to the
pipe.
